    I just spent over 2 weeks in Sénéngal and your cons are SPOT ON! I was hard to find vegan meals. I ate whole cucumbers, bananas and oranges as much as I could because the other option for me was rice and seafood for every meal. And the flies are gangster as hell. I spent the most money on internet. It is a nice country as a whole, though. I will probably move there soon.

      Aight then well after about 8 videos this comment alone will make me pass on it. No Vegan? I had enough damn white rice AND GANGSTAH FLIES, 5 YEARS in the Philippines, where I could not even enjoy a nice morning on my own porch without hundreds of FLY BY's; and as a UA-cam creator with two channels over 100k SUBS I need good internet 24/7 everywhere I be; so, I guess I will stay here in THAILAND.

    Kool vibe kaka. Dig the vibez. Quick tip to you, if you can get your hand on an independent audio source, like a voice recorder, or use the voice recorder on your phone, independent of the camera you use to record, it would make your vids even better. Keep troddin, maybe we will cross paths.

    Once you realized that you'd left your microphone, why would you still opt to record this video at the beach? Why not sit in the car or someplace where it is more quiet? Isn't it more important that the viewer receive the message than it is that we see a pretty background? I'm sorry to put this here. I wish that youtube offered a way to send a private message.

    Hi Thank you for sharing this, it's the best Senegal video I have seen, I plan to have a 2 Week trip over Christmas/new year female travelling solo, l will fly into Dakar and I do want to see it, but like you I like being away soaking up village life/nature and will probably be travelling around rather than staying in one spot, where would you recommend?

    • @raymanmufasa
      @raymanmufasa  Рік тому

      Heyyyy so happy you got to watch my video. Congratulations on booking your trip to Senegal your going to have an amazing time. I would say spend a weekend in Dakar and then try a few days near Sali ... Then a week in Sine Saloum would be nice and a few days in Casamance the south completely rural. Super safe travelling around solo but if you need help happy to refer some drivers etc etc. Aribnb would be your best place at first instance for accommodation. Dakar can be a bit expensive. Hope this helps! Don't forget to sub and follow me on Instagram new content coming soon.
